I like to cook, read, and write. Tell me fascinating things about the world.
The uptick of romance only bookstores opening is because small, independent bookstores have shown nothing but contempt for romance readers. Many independent bookstores don't even have a romance section. It's a slap in the face to a giant segment of the publishing industry.

This is actually the biggest turnoff in a bookstore. Alienating an entire consumer base, especially when they are some of the most avid purchases of your product, is a wild sales strategy.
It's always disappointing when I visit a city's beloved indie bookstore and they have sections for horror, mystery, and thriller, but no romance section. I don't understand not stocking one of the best selling genres there is!
